Pharad Introduces Small Form Factor LTE Panel Antenna

Pharad announced recently the introduction of their new Long-Term Evolution (LTE) antenna to address the growing worldwide demand for innovative LTE antenna solutions for Small Cell and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Networks. The new Pharad Low Profile LTE Antenna has been designed to support global LTE bands and multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) networks while also enabling WCDMA, CDMA, and GSM access in a single, universal antenna. The small form factor of Pharad’s LTE antenna drastically shrinks the DAS antenna footprint and operates over all LTE operating bands between 700 MHz and 3000 MHz. This antenna uniquely provides a compact single antenna solution that can operate anywhere in the world.

“We wanted to bring something unique to the commercial in-building wireless antenna space by incorporating size reduction techniques that we have deployed and proven in other markets. Our small form factor LTE antenna is the smallest available for these in-building wireless systems,” said Pharad President Austin Farnham. “Our customer base has been developing new LTE networking equipment and their customers require smaller LTE antenna solutions. They came to us because of our reputation creating innovative and high performing small form factor antennas for other markets.”

Pharad's newest LTE antenna is being sold under Model number LP-700-3000. Pharad currently offers four high performing COTS models of LTE antennas for wearable, mobile, and fixed applications. For more information, visit: http://www.pharad.com/.
